neural

Neural means to ‘relate to the nerves’. A common metaphor of electronic technology is that it mimics the nervous system of the human body.
Where you find the word ‘neural’ relative to technology it refers to an electronic array of components that is performing the role of a simulated nervous system. For example, a ‘neural net’ is short for a ‘neural network’ which is a special type of artificial intelligence computer system designed with the intention of thinking like a human being. In contrast to digital computer systems, neural nets are designed to learn for themselves based upon assembling and considering various rules of logic created in their software.
